Message the cyl temps down to allow higher boost levels. Many people who are cranking out big #s (Pete, for example, or tons of Supra guys) are cranking up the boost. Nothing wrong with that. Who says you can't crank up the boost on the dyno, or the street for that matter? I'd crank up the boost to 25psi on the dyno if my wastegate springs would allow it, and I run 25 psi on the street happily.

Bottom line is that (not necessarily pointing the finger at anyone specifically) many times dyno figures are given on the net without specifying a boost level, A/F chart/ratio, or correction type. Some people tout their STD #s, no A/F ratio and/or no boost level, and then you see that those #s were some crazy lean tune, a crazy boost level and/or the c/f was nuts. Extreme examples, but I've seen them all over the place. Makes it hard to do apples-to-apples comparisons.

And yes, that is Wagz car. 8-)
